John, While this stuff is strong enough to clean water distiller tanks (Which is very difficult to remove due to the almost baked like minerals deposits and such, sulfamic acid will not remove grout but it will remove grout haze very well, it's safe for the tiles and grout even at the highest sulfamic concentrations when mixed).

I guess it depends on whats in your well water. The Brita filters are certified to remove copper and mercury and reduce chlorine and zinc taste. There is a possibility of contaminants in your ground water the filters cant handle. Tap water is routinely tested

I do not feel any smell. Water is good. However, I am not sure that the source water had a sulfur smell to start with, it may not. So, the exact answer is "I do not know".

Sorry I do not know we have well water( sulfer) so it isn't something I worry about, does a great job on ours

I don't know what's in your water, but we have this one on the Cape, which makes the salty-tinny summer water more palatable. And we have a 5-stage sytem up in the White Mountains where our water used to tase and smell awful -- sulfur and iron. Now it's perfect!

I am not using it for clean water. Therefor the smell is not an issue. However, I think if you use lacquer thinner to wipe the cable first and then let it dry that should remove whatever they coated it with. I hope that will help you.

It may very well be. I'm no chemist and years ago a plumber told me on the sly after having to enlist his services to clear our sewer line for the umpteenth time that copper sulfate would do the trick. He didn't tell me the amount to use and I was a C- chemistry student in school. He retired about that time and I went along calling "Roto-Rooter" until I found this stuff in a catalog and bought it. I have a bottle that I'm going to dump in my system for the six month dose and the label indicates it is 99% Copper sulfate pentahydrate and 1% "other ingredients". I have used it for years now and have never had to make a service call to have my line "snaked". I've stayed with it because it has worked for me all these years and also because my ignorance of chemistry keeps me from wanting to use an inappropriate dose of copper sulfate that might screw up the pipes leading to the sewer and cost a large out of pocket expense for repairs. I hope that's helpful. Good luck!

If the smell is from chlorine, yes. We installed the Filtrete filter to improve the taste and in hopes that the all but invisible black substance that accumulated in our drains from the faucets would be removed. After about two months, I no longer had to clean the faucet filters or the drains. Excellent product.

Potentially...it depends on the composition of your well water. Please send us a copy of your most recent water report. If you have not tested your water recently, then that is your first step. Before buying water treatment equipment, you'll need to know what you are treating. An analogous situation is asking a doctor for a prescription without fist knowing whats wrong with the patient.

It's the use of the, stainless steel coupled with running water that eliminates the volatile sulfur compounds that cause vaginal odor. You've absolutely nothing to lose by trying it. If you're as miserable and frustrated as the rest of us,not to mention embarrassed by the odor, you'll try almost anything, within reason.This is within reason!Good Hunting!

No it does not, if You have hard water You'll need a water softener preferable after this. Amazon also sells an air injection birm resin unit that will soften as well as remove iron and sulfur.

We, too, have a well. The Berkey web site should provide the info you're looking for (it is very helpful). Please be aware that it is a purification system as well as a filter.

I dont know about sulfer, but I have a huge amt of iron in the water that makes the water smell and it takes that odor and taste away. I am pleased with this filter. My water goes in orange and comes out clear.

It depends on what you wouldn't normally drink. If you mean tap water that has too much chlorine or well water that has too much gravel, yes, it will filter out odor and tastes you don't want. I use one in my kitchen for drinking water as my city water is heavily chlorinated. My sister uses one at her house because her well water is a bit muddy. It works for both of us.

Hi Mary, personally I am on city water and use my filter for final polishing and not primary filtering. I would suggest you have your well water analyzed then contact Aquasana's technical support and forward them your lab results and let them tell you if their filter system is capable of purifying your water to potable standards. Please be absolutely aware of chemical toxins and biological pathogens that your lab will be able to identify. On a final note depending on you geographical location, we need to also be concerned about radiological contamination. To some extent there is a filter that is capable of addressing that problem too. If need be, ask me about it and I will look it up for you. Hope this response is of some use.
